Answer:

N₂ + 3H₂O → 2NH₃ + 3NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

N₂ + H₂O → NH₃ + NO

We are to balance this reaction expression.

To do this, assign a,b,c and d as the coefficients that will balance the expression:

aN₂ + bH₂O → cNH₃ + dNO

Conserving N: 2a = c

H: 2b = 3c

O: b = d

let a = 1, c = 2, b = 3 and d = 3

So;

N₂ + 3H₂O → 2NH₃ + 3NO
